Thing is, who doesn't consider the likes of Beyonce, Ciara, Ashanti black and w/e? Everyone just looks at them as black but lighter skinned that's all.

That's partly because the media has forced it down people's throats, and now people don't think twice about it. It was the same with Obama. Although the issue was brought up to an extent, including black comedians mocking the issue.

It's a matter that needs to be discussed more, but at the same time, it's way down the list of important topics. So right now I think I'll chill out and leave it.

That's true. Blacks would identify a mixed race person as mixed race & Whites would say a mixed person is black.. That's how it works these days.
